I received the DipABRSM results this afternoon and I wasn’t successful. I expected myself to fail the recital because I didn’t play the best I could, but turns out I passed. I passed viva voce as well. It was the quick study that killed me. My overall percentage is a pass, but since I failed the quick study section, I have to retake it and hopefully pass overall so I can get the diploma.

I’m thankful for the result but I’ll just need some time to let it pass. I was considering retaking the recital part as well, just to prove to myself that I could play better than that, but I decided against it since it’s just a waste of money. There’s really no need to do that since I’m more concerned with my improvement in the long run, rather than just looking back and feeling happy about a grade I got years ago.

Now, off to productive labour.
